• Episode 21: A Garbage Episode

  We talked about this episode for months now, and it's finally here. Garbage collection in its full glory. Classic and free-threaded. Generational and single-pass. With eager and delayed untracking. We cover it all!

• Episode 20: Remote Code Execution By Design

  In this episode, Pablo's avoiding the topic of garbage collection by talking about his latest PEP, which allows unprecedented interaction with a running Python process. We also resolve the bet about reference counting semantics, mention some notable changes in Python since the last episode, and discuss syntax highlighting in PyREPL and why it's bad, actually.## Timestamps(00:00:00) INTRO(00:02:16) PART 1: PABLO'S LATEST PEP(00:04:34) gdb is IMPOSSIBLE(00:12:49) Make the process run code for you(00:14:14) This already works on PyPy(00:15:13) How does it work?(00:25:38) Why a file?(00:31:15) What if you don't trust Pablo?(00:32:57) sys.remote_exec()(00:36:09) Less obvious use cases(00:46:56) PART 2: BETS(00:55:44) PART 3: PR OF THE WEEK(00:55:50) Łukasz: syntax highlighting in PyREPL(01:10:14) Pablo's PR: allow the parser to activate future imports on the fly(01:20:11) PART 4: WHAT'S GOING ON IN CPYTHON(01:20:22) Free threading(01:23:30) Performance(01:34:41) PEP 765 implemented(01:36:08) concurrent.futures.Executor.map(buffersize=)(01:36:57) io.Reader and io.Writer(01:38:40) Pabluco's linecache fetching interactive source code(01:41:25) ast.unparse() roundtrip with semicolons(01:41:59) OUTRO

• Episode 19: Async hacks, unicorns and velociraptors

  In this asynchronous episode we're interviewing a fellow core developer Yury Selivanov to talk about asyncio's past and future, composable design, immutability, and databases you'd actually like using. We also broke the 2-hour episode barrier!## Timestamps(00:00:00) INTRO(00:01:33) PART 1: INTERVIEW(00:02:27) What drives you?(00:04:47) How do you choose what to work on?(00:08:10) Hyperfocus(00:09:28) Things from Rust that Python could use(00:14:50) Nothing is sacred when you depend on glibc(00:18:47) TypeScript typing is god-tier(00:22:04) Adding async and await to Python(00:34:11) Adding new keywords to the language(00:41:17) Jumping into a new codebase(00:49:22) Any design regrets?(00:58:46) Contextvars(01:10:40) Is the frozenmap PEP happening?(01:19:21) uvloop(01:23:25) What makes Gel lovable?(01:39:57) PART 2: PR OF THE WEEK(01:47:08) Saturday talks at PyCon should be fun(01:50:35) PART 3: WHAT'S GOING ON IN CPYTHON(01:50:47) Ken Jin's tail-call interpreter(01:55:05) Barney Gale's glob.glob() optimization(01:55:43) Brandt's boolean guards to narrow types to values in the JIT(01:56:33) Mark Shannon's stack limits implemented with addresses, not counters(01:58:34) Brandt's removal of _DYNAMIC_EXIT(01:58:53) Mark Shannon's async for branches instrumented(01:59:36) Free-threading changes(01:59:58) Sam Gross' regression tests can now run in --parallel-threads(02:00:34) Tomasz Pytel's thread safety crusade(02:01:01) Xuanteng Huang's __annotations__ race fix(02:01:11) Kumar's per-thread linked lists for tasks(02:02:54) Serhiy's crashes related to PySys_GetObject() fixed(02:03:22) Sam's usage of stack pointers in thread stack traversal(02:03:38) Dino Viehland's lock avoidance during object cleanup(02:04:23) OUTRO
